One of my FAVORITE "fall" desserts is Pumpkin Sheet Cake. Listen girls (I do not like pumpkin pie, or anything pumpkin) but THIS cake--oh mercy on my soul!! It's delicious!! I make this for church dinners or Thanksgiving; Christmas or any time in-between! It's great!
Cake:
1 can (15 oz) solid-pack pumpkin
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
Frosting: (I double this)
1 pkg (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
5 TBSP butter or margarine, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
3-4 tsp milk (I use evaporated milk)
In a mixing bowl, beat pumpkin, sugar, and oil. Add eggs, mix well. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; add to pumpkin mixture; beat until well blended. Pour into greased 15x10x1 baking pan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 mins or until done. For frosting, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually add sugar; mix well. Add milk for desired consistency. Frost cake and garnish with nuts (if desired).
ENJOY!!!!!

ReplyDeleteIt's good. As a person who doesnt care for pumpkin, I can vouche for you that its good! :)
ReplyDeleteCharon (I work with your mother-in-law and feel like I know you already) - I make something very similar to this and I add raisins to the cake part. 1 cup, stir in just before putting it in the pan to bake. Just in case you are interested in changing things up (but only if you like raisins).
